One West Waikiki is an American crime drama television series that aired on CBS from August 4, 1994 until September 8, 1994, and then in first-run syndication for its second season from October 15, 1995 until May 25, 1996.[1] The series was set in Hawaii, and starred Cheryl Ladd and Richard Burgi.

The program was created by Glen A. Larson.[2] The New York Times reported that the show's producers sought a summer slot in order to raise money for filming more episodes because "They had already sold the idea of the program to international broadcasters".[3]

Plot

Dr. Dawn "Holli" Holliday (Cheryl Ladd), a forensics expert formerly of the Los Angeles Coroner's Office is appointed as the Hawaiian Police Department's medical examiner.[4] She finds herself at odds with Lt. Mack Wolfe (Richard Burgi), Honolulu PD's No.1 homicide detective. They have a love-hate relationship yet they must cooperate in order to solve various crimes.[2]
